BOLM HOUSING - BOLM OFFERS TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT HOUSING IN PREPARING CLIENTS FOR A STABLE AND GROUNDED LIFE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. BY OFFERING CLEAN, SAFE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING CHOICES TO CLIENTS, BOLM CAN FURTHER FACILITATE THEIR TRANSITIONS FROM HOMELESSNESS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND BREAK WHAT IS OFTEN A CYCLE IN LIFE OF BOTH POVERTY AND INTERMITTENT HOMELESSNESS. BOLM HAS 83 UNITS OF HOUSING IN THE AUGUSTA AREA. MANY OF THESE UNITS ARE SUBSIDIZED AND CARRY VOUCHER WITH THEM, WHICH REDUCES THE COST OF RENT FOR A FAMILY OR SINGLE PAYING FOR THAT APARTMENT.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 26 FAMILY SHELTER BEDS, 12 VETERAN SHELTER BEDS AND 83 UNITS OF HOUSING.

WE COMMONLY SEE 8,700 BED DAYS PER YEAR FOR OCCUPANCY. THIS NUMBER COMES FROM ADDING UP THE NUMBER OF BEDS THAT ARE FILLED EACH NIGHT FOR A CALENDAR YEAR. -OUR VETERANS' SHELTER ACCOMMODATES 12 BEDS AND ALL BEDS ARE FILLED IN COLLABORATION WITH TOGUS MEDICAL CENTER HOMLESS SERVICES. THIS MEANS WE CANNOT TAKE VETERANS OFF THE STREET AND INTO THE SHELTER WITHOUT THEM FIRST GOING THROUGH SERVICES AT TOGUS. WE COMMONLY SEE 4,500 BED NIGHTS PER CALENDAR YEAR AT THE VETERANS SHELTER. -WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 83 UNITS OF HOUSING IN THE CITY OF AUGUSTA AND THIS IS A COMBINATION OF TRANSITIONAL, PERMANENT AND GUEST HOUSE/LODGER ACCOMODATIONS.
